FAQ’S:

  1. Where do I sign up?

    • Bring $20 to the Gym and we’ll give you your score sheet and instructions.

  2. Does coffee count as water?

    • No, sorry, we all wish it did. Must be water. You can add electrolytes, salts, lemon, things like that.

  3. Do I have to workout at the Gym on 5th

    • Yes, unless you are out of town. If so , log onto SugarWod to see the workout and scale/modify accordingly. It must be one of our workouts that you do to the best of your ability with the equipment you have. Let us know if you need any direction.

  4. DETAILS on the “REMOVE 3” List:

Remember, this list is called the REMOVE 3 list. If you already do not consume alcohol or you already do not eat dairy, then choose a different option. This should be a challenge and should be different than the diet you have been consuming.

  1. Dairy

    • This includes cow, goat, or sheep’s milk products like milk, cream, cheese, kefir, yogurt, sour cream, ice cream, or frozen yogurt

  2. Alcohol

    • Self-explanatory. Beverages with trace amounts of alcohol like kombucha and Athletic Brewing are okay.

  3. Caffeine

    • This includes coffee, tea, energy drinks, and pre-workout mixes

  4. Added sugars

    • Maple syrup, agave nectar, coconut sugar, date syrup, stevia, Splenda, Equal, Nutrasweet, xylitol, aspartame, etc. ALLOWED: Honey in moderation

  5. Grains

    • Wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, rice, millet, bulgur, sorghum, and sprouted grains. ALLOWED: Quinoa, Amaranth, and Buckwheat, as these are technically considered seeds.

  6. Unhealthy oils

    • Corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, and rice bran oils

  7. Bars and pre-packaged foods

    • Frozen food, protein bars, bags of chips, crackers, etc. This one can be a slippery slope in terms of what counts as pre-packaged and what doesn’t. If you think it might qualify as pre-packaged, it probable does. Protein powders are okay as long as they don’t have any added sugars

5. Can I choose my own 10 Minute Mobility Routine?

  • Yes. The link is just a suggested full body routine but you can put your own spin on it and do what your body needs.
